To address that concern, he recommended that the Meeting of the Parties should acknowledge that if a State that had not consented to the Beijing Amendment took certain agreed steps, it would not fall within the definition of the term “State not party to this Protocol” until the conclusion of the Seventeenth Meeting of the Parties.
Para solucionar el problema, recomendó que la Reunión de las Partes reconociera que si un Estado que no había consentido a la Enmienda de Beijing adoptaba ciertas medidas acordadas, no se lo consideraría "Estado que no sea Parte en este Protocolo" hasta la clausura de la 17a Reunión de las Partes.
